Pickster2.5.6

Pickster is a simple little app to help you pick names randomly from a collection - just like drawing names out of a hat, but with less paper... and hats.

New in version 2.5:
. New screen-shot friendly winner page! Now you can show everyone the result of the drawing with some fanfare, and without displaying everyone else's name in the list. Switch it on per list in the Settings page

Other Features:
. Easily increment the number of entries for each name just by tapping on it
. Chose how many unique names are picked
. Auto-alphabetize the names list, or do your own custom ordering
. Handy swipe actions to copy a list, and clear or delete an entry
. Choose from two drawing modes:
. Natural Drawing Mode (default). When a name is picked, remove one of its entries from the hat
. Original Drawing Mode. When a name is picked, its number of entries stays the same
. Multiple Lists - Enable this feature through a one time in-app purchase and you'll be able to create as many lists as you want
. Paste in text as a new list! Copy names to your phone's clipboard with commas, tabs, or newline characters separating each name. Tap the Add button, name the list, and tap the Paste button to import all the copied names into the list. Each name will receive 1 entry.
. Make copies of existing lists just by swiping to the left and tapping the Copy button
. Quick Add Widget makes entering names fast and easy. It automatically checks for duplicate names in the list as you type
. iPad support
. Still ad-free as always!

We've added one of the top user-requested features: the ability to delete all names in the list and start over from scratch. We present: "Nuke all names". Find it on the Settings page.

• We've slightly changed the way the app draws names and we've dubbed it "Natural Drawing Mode". It's named that because it more closely follows how names are naturally drawn out of a hat, in the real world. When a name is picked, one of its entries will be removed from the hat. Please note that this option is turned on by default now, but you can always turn it off on the Settings page and use the old drawing mode, now called "Original Drawing Mode".

• We've also made some updates to take advantage of all the extra pixels on the beautiful iPhone X
